P"H ' 'H jk 3 -Kir"1 P : I 1 ! 0 Monday, November 10, 1986 One of two proprams to be eliminated Heavy Equipment Operators Program Cut bv Tom Green In compliance with a directive from Governor Norm Bangerter, UTC has had the anguishing task of cutting its budget by over six percent. As was reported a few weeks ago, the Dental Assisting program at UTC has been eliminated as of July 1, 1986, because of this serious budget reduction. However, elimination of the dental program does not account for the total reductions necessary. In fact, a total of ten faculty positions, 13 staff positions, a ten percent reduction in administrative travel, and the elimination of Heavy Equipment Career bv Connie Keamev One of the great dilemmas facing youth is deciding what to study in college and what career to pursue. Often students feel there is one magical job out there, just waiting for themone which they will love and one that will give them a comfortable living as well. Statistics show that there are well over 140,000 job categories and within these categories, there are literally thousands of sub-jobs. People are adapted to some 40,000 different types of jobs. Dennis Farnsworth is assisting the students in choosing careers from this range of jobs. His class, Career Exploration 101, is three credit hours and meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the Trades Building. The purpose of the class is ASUTC Senators A 1 bv Connie Keamev Last week, the chamber of the Utah State Capitol Building once again echoed with voices of senators and representatives as they boldly stood before their peers to present pertinent legislation for the welfare of the state. However, the voices heard were different than those normally heard resounding from the floors of the Senate and House. They were the voices of the Utah Intercollegiate Assembly holding their 14th annual session. The UIA consists of student-body officers from every college and university in Utah. Its purpose is to form a cohesion among the colleges and write legislation which represents the views and needs of the 106,000 Utah college students. The bills are presented to the regular state legislature for ratification and are not necessarily bills that pertain to the needs of the college students, but to the state as a whole. Michele Atkinson, ASUTC academic vice president, says there were 50 to 60 bills presented to the UIA Senate and House. The session follows Welding Department faces cutbacks . One instructor to be released. See page 3 FmTT tt ir Operations (HEO) program are jus: a few of the cuts being made. High ranking administration officials have known about the budget reductions since late spring or early summer, according to Dr. Doug Warner, associate vice-president for academic affairsvocational director. "We didn't announce the budget cuts to everyone for fear of pandemonium," said Warner. Also according to Warner, committees met six or seven times over the summer to discuss the possible reductions which would be announced in the fall of this year. One of the two programs that have been eliminated from UTC is the Heavy Equipment Class Offered to provide information which will help in the career selection process. One of the advantages of taking the class is being exposed to a broad range of the various careers available. Aptitude testing is done to help students decide where their interests are. Guest speakers will further enhance the selection process and give insight to the advantages and disadvantages of various careers. The average college student will change majors three times before graduating and Farnsworth falls into that category, also. He started his college career in psychology, then switched to English. As often happens, circumstances sometimes change a student's direction. Farnsworth served an LDS mission to Taiwan, where he discovered he was adapted to foreign languages. Having had no exposure to languages in high school, he had exact parliamentary procedures of the state legislature and the bills went through the same process as in the legislature. The students voted on five prioritized bills which will be lobbied for when the legislature reconvenes. The 175 students attending the session were divided into five committees. Each committee reviewed and adopted bills pertaining to such subjects as budgets and commerce, state and public policies, drugs and alcohol. Once the bills got out of committee, they went to the Senate or the House for approval. Atkinson said a bill requiring stringent enforcement of drunk driving laws gained a lot of support from the group. The proposed bill asked for second offenders to automatically pay a $1500 minimum ,fine, three months in jail and the loss of their license for three years. After hearing debates which emphasized the 26,000 people killed each year by drunk drivers, the bill easily passed both houses. The child seatbelt law was given support by the legislature, which wanted the existing laws to be enforced. Statistics showed that out of 3,000 drivers stopped, 20 actually Jo lloOo -rjjF .rr-i LCL Utah Technical Cpllege ProvoOom, Box 1609, Provo, Utah 84603 Operations. This elimination was "quite unexpected," according to Phil Kresge, chairman of the professional driving department Kresge said the HEO has been at UTC for 16 years, and has contributed to the building of the Orem Scera Shell, has done dam repair in Genola, Utah, and did part of the landscaping north of the Trades Building on the Orem Campus. Currently, there are about 25 students enrolled in the HEO Program. It is a one-year certificate program.

The group also considered legislation regarding budgets and appropriated money and made recommendations to deal with the state financial crisis. Governor Bangerter spoke and encouraged the leaders to get involved with the ALERT program. He said he felt the UIA was a wonderful experience for student leaders and advised them to pursue good causes. Those attending UIA agreed with the governor and felt that the three days of learning parliamentary procedure and working with other students within the state was not only meaningful on a personal basis, but as a cohesive group they could work together to solve common problems. The highlight of the session came Saturday afternoon, when UTC Studentbody President George Marshall was elected the governor of UIA.

In a memorandum sent on October 8, 1986 to UTC's Institutional Council and the State Board of Regents, President J.

The memorandum reads in part, "Each vice president and administrator was required to review the programs within his or her responsibilities.

We are currently working with the student council to try to reach a viable solution to the problem, at hand. Thus far, there have been two meetings with the student council and the administration, both of which have been very informative and productive for both sides.
